After the two finished their meal, Qu Qianqian touched her belly with satisfaction.
People in Yixiangting ordered some wine and snacks and talked about business while eating. Only Qu Yan, Qu Qianqian and Ji Chengjin came specifically to eat.
Shortly after getting in the car and leaving, Zhou Xiao followed.
At the art museum, Qu Qianqian ran into an old acquaintance: Wang Luanyu, the daughter of her master, Wang Zhizhang. Qu Qianqian had known her for a long time; they were considered fellow students. Wang Luanyu was about three years older than Qu Qianqian, and they usually addressed each other by their first name.
Wang Luanyu herself is a type that looks very cool and elegant. Today she is wearing a black coat and her hair is neatly tied up, giving her the temperament of a queen.
Qu Qianqian knew Wang Luanyu's personality. She acted like a cold and arrogant queen to people she didn't know well, with an attitude of "don't get close to me". But to people she knew well, she acted like a "crazy beauty".
"Luan Yu!" Qu Qianqian ran up happily to say hello.
Wang Luanyu reached out and pinched her cheek, then said with a smile, "Hey, long time no see. Are you here to see the art exhibition too?"
Suddenly, she saw the man behind Qu Qianqian, carrying a bag that didn't match his temperament. Then she looked at Qu Qianqian, who didn't have a bag on her. Suddenly, she thought of something and whispered, "Is that your boyfriend?"
Qu Qianqian blushed and hurriedly denied: "Ah, no, not yet... not yet..."
"Not now? Then it will be in the future? Oh haha, Qianqian has good taste!" Wang Luanyu joked.
"Stop laughing at me!" Qu Qianqian blushed and introduced Ji Chengjin: "Luanyu, this is my friend Ji Chengjin. Brother Chengjin, this is my fellow senior sister, Wang Luanyu."
Ji Chengjin nodded politely: "Ms. Wang."
"Mr. Ji," Wang Luanyu also nodded politely as a greeting, then turned and whispered to Qu Qianqian, "Since I've already called you Brother Chengjin, it's fine."
"Still making fun of me!" Qu Qianqian pretended to be angry.
"Okay, okay, I won't tease you anymore. Let's go to the art exhibition together. By the way, I received your coming-of-age ceremony invitation. I will prepare a big gift for you then." Wang Luanyu held Qu Qianqian's hand, just like an older sister taking her younger sister.
Ji Chengjin did not disturb them from reminiscing about the past, and walked silently beside Qu Qianqian.
The art museum has three floors, and the exhibition is on the first floor. The publicity says that several famous works are also on display, so there are quite a lot of people coming to see it.
Zhou Xiao didn't like art or painting, and couldn't appreciate these things. He just followed the three people.
There was heating in the art museum. Qu Qianqian felt hot and took off her scarf. Ji Chengjin naturally held it for her.
Zhou Xiao was jealous. He knew that the way they were getting along was definitely not a so-called sponsorship relationship. This normal way of getting along was definitely a relationship.
Qu Qianqian said in the game that she was very familiar with Tong. Could it be that Ji Chengjin is Tong in the game? Did they meet in the game and then meet in person?
Or did you know each other in real life a long time ago and then play games together?
It was obvious that Tong put a lot of thought into the wedding in the game, and it wasn't just perfunctory.
After visiting an art exhibition, Ji Chengjin and Qu Qianqian drove away, and Wang Luanyu waited at the door for their driver to pick them up.
Her phoenix eyes caught sight of Zhou Xiao, who was sitting on the stairs without caring about his image. She curled her lips and sneered, "Isn't this the eldest young master of the Zhou family? He's been following me like a pervert all afternoon, and now he's not going upstairs?"
Zhou Xiao glanced at her.
The Zhou family and the Wang family have a long history. Before the two were born, the elders of the two families said that if they were of the same sex, they would become sworn brothers, and if they were of the opposite sex, they would get married.
Fortunately, my parents are open-minded and have not settled down.
But when the two were very young, they drifted apart because the Wang family opened a Chinese Painting Academy and developed Chinese painting without seeking fame or fortune, while the Zhou family ran the Jiuhong Shopping Mall, and businessmen only seek fame and fortune.
Zhou Xiao and Wang Luanyu also disliked each other when they met.
Wang Luanyu mocked him, but Zhou Xiao's lack of rebuttal puzzled her. She glanced at the car where Qu Qianqian and Ji Chengjin were leaving and asked tentatively, "Could it be that you... like Qianqian?"
Zhou Xiao rubbed his head irritably and said, "I do like her, what's wrong?"
Now it was Wang Luanyu's turn to be surprised: "Don't you like the type with a curvy figure? Qianqian is... uh... so small..." Wang Luanyu paused and could only use this relatively plain word to describe it.
Zhou Xiao was speechless: "Am I such a superficial person?"
"Isn't it?"
"Well, to be honest with you, I was stunned by her the first time I saw her. To describe it as a stunning beauty at first sight wouldn't be an exaggeration. When we met the second time, I just found her interesting, but then...tsk," Zhou Xiao rubbed his hair irritably again, "She's dating that guy Ji Chengjin, right?"
"They're probably not officially together yet, but they probably will be together soon."
“Tsk.”
Wang Luanyu thought for a moment, then spoke out loud, "Zhou Xiao, you're naturally intelligent. You should understand some things without needing to be pointed out. You should let go of your childhood. Back then, loneliness forced you to lower your standards when it came to making friends, and you were the one who was betrayed every time. Are you willing to let yourself go because of this?"
Zhou Xiao's eyes moved slightly.
"Originally, Uncle Zhou planned to train you as his heir, but you didn't live up to your expectations and fell into depravity. Even if Qianqian doesn't have a boyfriend or other men around her, it's impossible for you to pursue her. In your current state, who would trust their daughter to you?"
Zhou Xiao couldn't refute it at all, these were all facts.
"Besides, have you considered Zhou Qi's feelings?" Wang Luanyu finally said this softly, and then got into the car.
Zhou Xiao sat on the stairs and pondered for a long time.
Seeing that he had fallen into depravity and was like a hopeless pile of mud, the Zhou family stopped paying attention to him and planned to train Zhou Qi as their successor.
Because of this, Zhou Qi spent all his time at home learning how to become a perfect heir to the Zhou family and gave up his dancing career.
Zhou Xiao knew that Zhou Qi loved dancing and her goal was to become an excellent dancer.
It's not that he doesn't know what's involved, he just doesn't want to think about it.
Looking at Qu Qianqian, she was very happy after playing all day. She was sitting in the passenger seat and eating the snacks that Ji Chengjin had bought for her when he stopped the car.
"Brother Chengjin, are you done with the company's work?"
"I'm done with my work. I haven't had anything to do recently, so I can stay at home for a few more days."
"Oh," Qu Qianqian nodded and suddenly asked, "I usually only see Uncle Chen and Dahei. Where are Brother Chengjin's family? Do they live somewhere else?"
